(Matricaria recutita)

The aroma of the German (blue) variety is deeper, headier and more floral than the light colored Roman chamomile. The blue color (azulene content) of German chamomile gives this oil extraordinary anti-inflammatory and nervine properties; specific to people who have periods of indifference to family and friends followed by outbursts directed at those closest to them; German chamomile is a necessary ingredient in blends for ADHD in children and anxiety attacks in adolescents and adults; the name ‘Matricaria’ means “caring for the womb” and emphasizes the centuries-old use of this herb for female complaints; excellent for digestive problems, nausea and headaches that are caused by gall bladder deficiency.
